Tentoonstelling van de week - Exposition de la semaine - Exhibition of the week
'Tiffany Girls. Nieuw licht op Tiffany' - Singer Laren - Laren - Nederland

Singer Laren organiseert de eerste grote museale tentoonstelling in Nederland gewijd aan het werk uit de ateliers van Louis Comfort Tiffany. De tentoonstelling toont naast de beroemde lampen van Tiffany ook glas-in-lood ramen, mozaïeken, geëmailleerde ‘objets de luxe’ en documentair materiaal.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933)
Louis Comfort Tiffany is de belangrijkste en meest inventieve ontwerper van toegepaste kunst in Amerika rond 1900. Hij verwierf vooral bekendheid met zijn lampen en ramen in gebrandschilderd glas. Met zijn elegante en decoratieve ontwerpen was hij een leidsman van de (Amerikaanse) Art Nouveau. Bovendien wist hij kunst en functionaliteit perfect te combineren.

Tiffany Girls
Recent onderzoek bracht aan het licht dat achter Louis Comfort Tiffany een groep vrouwelijke ontwerpers schuilging, waaraan veel succesvolle Tiffany-ontwerpen nu kunnen worden toegeschreven. Deze ‘Tiffany Girls’ werkten in het Women’s Glasscutting Department onder leiding van Clara Driscoll (1861-1944) die, naar nu blijkt, onder meer verantwoordelijk was voor populaire ontwerpen als Blauweregen, Libel, Pioenroos en Klaproos. De tentoonstelling werpt daarmee nieuw licht op de ontwerppraktijk van Tiffany maar evenzeer op de sociale positie van werkende vrouwen in New York rond 1900.

Singer Collectie
De tentoonstelling biedt een unieke kans een topstuk uit eigen collectie, de grote Tiffany hanglamp Goudenregen, een passende context te geven. Anna Singer Brugh kocht de lamp waarschijnlijk in Amerika voor het interieur van villa De Wilde Zwanen in Laren. Tiffany-ontwerpen waren in die tijd in Nederland nauwelijks bekend dus Goudenregen boven de eettafel zal tijdens de talloze diners met bevriende kunstenaars en buitenlandse gasten beslist een ‘conversation piece’ zijn geweest.

Het merendeel van de getoonde objecten is afkomstig van de New-York Historical Society met aanvullende bruiklenen uit andere musea en privé-verzamelingen. De tentoonstelling werd eerder getoond in New York (2007). Singer Laren is de eerste venue in Europa. Najaar 2009 reist de tentoonstelling door naar Museum Villa Stuck in München.

Singer Laren presents the first major exhibition in a Dutch museum of work from the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany. In addition to Tiffany’s famous lamps, the show includes stained-glass windows, mosaics, enamelled ‘objets de luxe’ and documentary material.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933)
Louis Comfort Tiffany was the most important and most inventive designer of applied art in America around 1900. He became famous chiefly for his stained-glass lamps and windows. With his elegant and decorative designs he was a leader of the (American) Art Nouveau. Moreover, his objects are a perfect combination or artistry and functionality.

Tiffany Girls
Recent research revealed the existence of a group of talented female designers behind Louis Comfort Tiffany, to whom many successful Tiffany patterns can now be attributed. The ‘Tiffany Girls’ worked in the Women’s Glass Cutting Department under Clara Driscoll (1861-1944) who, as it now emerges, was responsible for such popular designs as Wisteria, Dragonfly, Peony and Poppy. The exhibition sheds new light on Tiffany’s design practice as well as the social position of working women in New York around 1900.

Singer Collection
The exhibition affords a unique opportunity to situate a masterpiece in the Singer collection, the large Tiffany hanging lamp Laburnum, in a fitting context. Anna Singer Brugh probably bought it in America for home, De Wilde Zwanen, in Laren. At that time Tiffany designs were hardly known in The Netherlands. Hanging above the dining room table, Laburnum will have certainly been a conversation piece during the countless dinners with artist friends and foreign guests.

The majority of the objects on view are from the New-York Historical Society, supplemented with loans from other museums and private collections. The exhibition was held earlier in New York (2007). A New Light on Tiffany’s first European venue is Singer Laren; it will travel to the Museum Villa Stuck in Munich in the fall of 2009.

Museum van de week - Musée de la semaine - Museum of the week
Museum of Contemporary Art - Sydney - Australia

The Museum of Contemporary Art was established to fulfil the museum aspect of the visionary bequest of Australian expatriate artist John Power (1881-1943), who left his personal fortune to the University of Sydney to inform and educate Australians in the contemporary visual arts. The MCA was officially opened in November 1991.

The traditional owners of the land on which the MCA building is situated are the Eora people of the Gadigal nation. This site also marks the landing place of the First Fleet in Port Jackson in 1788. In 1802 Sydney's first hospital and wharf were built nearby, with commissariat stores built by Colonel Foveaux in 1812. In the 1930s the commissariat stores and taxation building were demolished to make way for a new Maritime Services Board (MSB) building (the previous MSB offices were displaced by the Cahill Express Way and Circular Quay railway development).

Government architect W.H. Withers began work on the building plans in 1939. Work resumed in 1944 under government architect W D H Baxter after a postponement of four years from 1940 due to Australia’s involvement in World War II. Builders were appointed in 1946 but difficulties in securing labour and material due to post war shortages delayed construction. The foundation stone was laid in 1949 and in 1952 the MSB building opened.

With the relocation of the MSB to larger premises in 1989 the building was gifted by the NSW State Government to the Museum of Contemporary Art. Funded by the University of Sydney and the Power Bequest, restoration and refurbishment of the building commenced in 1990 under the direction of Andrew Anderson of Peddle Thorpe/John Holland Interiors and in November 1991 the Museum of Contemporary Art officially opened.
